FishPoolDC: Our Insider's Notes from Today's Press Briefing

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: A number of questions in today’s White House briefing seemed to stump Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, who pledged to return with more information (though he didn’t use the Gibbsism “endeavor”). AP’s Jennifer Loven, current WHCA president, pointed out that it used to be that “if there was a question to follow up on… there would be sort of an asterisk in the transcript.” No promises on that front, though Gibbs did joke that he’d send the answer back “in that pink paper that Bill has,” referring to Bill Plante of CBS and his reading material that replaced his usual crossword puzzle that accompanies him to briefings.
